Capabilities Required for Contemplative Practice

In the practice of Buddhist cultivation and contemplation, logical thinking must be well-developed; for logical thinking to be well-developed, one's train of thought must be clear; for one's train of thought to be clear, the mind must be lucid; and for the mind to be lucid, meditative concentration is essential. Cultivating logical thinking and possessing robust analytical abilities constitute the greatest meritorious wealth, serving as the inexhaustible source of wisdom—perpetually renewed, never depleted—until the attainment of Buddhahood.
